Exodus 4:24-26

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²⁴ On the way, at a place where they spent the night, the Lord met him and tried to kill him.^{(A) 25} But Zipporah took a flint and cut off her son’s foreskin, touched his feet with it, and said, “Truly you are a bridegroom of blood to me!”^{(B) 26} So he let him alone. It was then that she said “a bridegroom of blood,” because of the circumcision.
